Description

A standing terracotta figurine photographed frontally against a plain background. It has a tall conical cap with a knob on top, a pinched face with a prominent nose, and a slender body with arms held close to the sides, with dark painted bands on the arms. A serrated applied strip runs diagonally across the torso from the upper right shoulder to the lower left, and the body widens into a flared base.
